Came up on memories today..

For a college project I watched what appeared to be a serious video of some people leaving the Silk Mill in 1901. 120 years ago people still did very embarrassing things, like using a stranger's clothes to catch your fall 😂😂 Bonus as her reaction was really funny. The image is super unclear but she's definitely laughing
